Vermont Senate votes to legalize same-sex marriage! Whoo hoo! Off to the House, where it is also expected to be approved. The governor, however, may veto it. D: But that could be overridden! :D Come to New England, where it's A-OK to be GAY!
A behind the scenes clip from Leverage. No, really. "I think that was the Make-a-Wish kid...."
Earth Hour 2009: Mark Your Calendars. Earth Hour is this Saturday, March 28, at 8:30 local time. Switch off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour. [If I run my laptop on battery, does it still count?]
Top 10 Volcanoes in Geologic History. Mmm, disaster porn.
Signs of Spring. Boston.com's Big Picture has pretty pretty pictures from around the world.
Slug porn. Proof that same-sex sexual relations is all part of the natural order, yo.
This cat has learned from Tristan.
Edible Gummy Shot Glasses. I so must try this (along with the Skittles-infused vodka).
More Big Picture: Undersea eruptions near Tonga.
Entire Cosmos series is on Hulu. Guh. I own the series on VHS (must get on DVD, must!), and I love it. Our knowledge of the cosmos has increased since the documentary was created, but it's still fascinating. Sadly, US only.
Anyone want to go on Graveyard tour? Anyone?
And finally...KITTY PILE.

I didn't end up going into the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague, mostly because it costs money to enter and I was but a poor, lowly student. But my sister and I did snap pictures from the window in the ladies room of the art museum next door.
What's funny is, I got basically the same shot I always see when someone posts pictures of the place. . . .
The Romanian cemetery looks absolutely fascinating. I think we hit up one of the Saint Louis cemeteries when we were down in New Orleans. The Buenos Aires one just makes me want to visit Buenos Aires even more. If Highgate is the cemetery I'm thinking of, I heard a lot about it from the Pscyhohosebeast before she went psycho, but never made it there, myself.
That list seems to be mostly based on visual aesthetic appeal, but I rather loved Greyfriar's Kirkyard in Edinburgh, and not just for the Mackenzie poltergeist (though that is a pretty fascinating story in and of itself).
And I'm a little partial to Arlington, myself, since I have relatives interred there.

There is an episode where Carl is discussing evolution and to illustrate the animation shows line drawings (stick figures?) of different creatures evolving into different forms, with branches being noted and then fading away.
Simple and effective.
But when he got to discussing dinosaurs, they replaced the line drawings of dinosaurs with clips from the CGI dinosaur shows that discovory/science likes to show. And then after a few (admittedly amazing) shots of dinosaurs running around eating each other, the stick figures came back.
Clumsy and embarrasing to watch.
So I only want the DVDs if they are the originals, not the "Han shoots first" version.
